Please get a screenshot of a page of Apolyton with that ad and mail it to us along with your reasons for having a problem with it.

JT3:
When you see the banner appear, click the "Print Scrn" button on your keyboard (near top, likely right-hand size). This will save a picture of the screenshot to your computer's Clipboard.
Then, paste the picture into graphics editor (e.g. Paint Shop Pro) and, if possible, please cut the banner ad out. If not, at the very least please save it in JPG format so the file size is reasonable to send via email, and we'll take it from there.
Thanks.

I just saw a banner from Ugo Direct. It's a pretty suggestive add of a blonde woman, and it says "She wants you to be a heavyweight."
I would like to see women posting their thoughts on Apolyotn, rather than women posting themselves. Such ads might make the smart ladies feel like they're at the wrong Civ site.
Mark/Dan: I believe you guys are quality people! Don't think I'm calling you irresponsible.
PS: Just curious, I wonder if there are any ladies who are members of Apolyton.

Slingshot, and on what media have you not seen these kind of ads?
once more: ads are not handled by us, but by our hosts. it is an obligation of ours under our hosting agreement, to show the ads chosen by our hosts, who I must say have a long experience in proffessional quality gaming sites. we have posted more than once the procedure for complaining about an ad

excuse me, goofydrew, but there are still plenty of serious forums which i post on, and i, as a twelve-year old, take your comment personally. these forums ARE open to everybody, and to add to the topic, i do think that these banners are getting out of hand. practically all of them are offensive, and i don't care if my 'mom is looking over my shoulder,' but it's just crazy to have a half-naked woman ad on a game site.

yes sammyBOY,
to have a half-naked woman on a game ad is silly...
she should be COMPLETELY NAKED!!!
what ad are you talking about? i ignore the ads... your parents would like you to ignore the ads!
grow up soon... it's a big world full of info of all types... and getting bigger... all the time...
and in closing, let me say...
DON'T BUY THOSE PRODUCTS THAT ARE ADVERTISED!
if they were worth it, they wouldn't need to advertise!

Thue:
Please send us, via email, a) the URL that the banner is pointing to and b) the URL that displays the image.
If you do not know how to do this, let us know and we'll guide you through the process.

I find the adds way offinsive. Like sammyboy said, this is a gameing site. I am, by the way, also a 12-year old, and as such resent goofydrew's comments. For that matter, I resent every comment goofydrew has made, not only the age ones  . Apolyton needs to go to the advertising company, and put some serious pressure on it to stop the adds, especially considering that it goes to the trouble to censor words!! If nothing else, it makes the site look bad. I don't do porn sites, and I would hope that this site (which I respect a lot) dosen't do porn. I come here to talk about Civilization, not to see things I'd rather not see.

hehe - yes, sex sells!
Another one found at the top of apolyton!

let's clear something out: the ad Thue posted (the first one) is advertising a no-porn site. it is NOT a porn ad. we are certainly not showing porn ads. ok?
to be more specific, the site is http://www.karli.com/ugo/ and has something to do with heavyweight boxing

an additional note: a user survey last summer showed that the BIG majority of your visitors are adults, while the percentage of visitors under the age of 10 was 0(zero that is).
and sorry to say this blatant, but I'm sure that at the age of 12 or 13 you have seen much more naked parts of women bottoms on TV than on this site

to klesh and mada...
you will both get better grades and better responses when you learn to spell!
stop looking at the ads children! do your effing homework! there are very few in the real world that give a flying eff about the cares of illiterates... maybe mommy should hire an english tutor... and take away your puter until you are able to spell...

It's not about age problems, it's about the general disrespect of women displayed in this and other ads. The woman in the ad has nothing to do with the product being sold- it is an insult to men to assume we would be attracted by this crap. It is also highly offensive in its nature, and shows a stereotype submissive view of women that runs quite contrary to the respect they deserve. I was angry at the Bikini Babes ads for boardgames at playlink, but this is worse. It is disgusting to see women be exploited in this way anywhere, and certainly not on a respectable site such as this one.

silly question: why do you complain to us, who show this (offensive in your opinion) ad in order to be able to support this ((should I remind) free) service, and not the makers of the ad?
